Does F or E indicate a full tank?

F indicates a full tank, which stands for "FULL". The F on the car's fuel gauge means "FULL" in English, representing a full tank, and can be translated as full or complete. E stands for Empty, indicating low fuel. Here are some precautions for fuel tank usage: 1. Before long-distance trips, the more fresh fuel you have, the better the acceleration feels at high speeds. 2. If the car is rarely driven, it is recommended to keep the fuel level low and not exceed the upper limit of the tank when refueling. 3. Do not use your phone at gas stations; leave it in the car or turn it off, and do not return to the car while refueling.
Speaking of the fuel gauge indicator in a car, I remember being really confused the first time I drove on my own, but I gradually figured it out. On the fuel gauge, F definitely stands for Full, meaning the tank is full; E stands for Empty, indicating the tank is empty. If the needle is close to E, it means you're almost out of fuel. It's advisable not to wait until it reaches E to refuel—running out of gas on the road could be a real hassle. A friend of mine once had their car stall due to running out of fuel, and the towing fee was ridiculously high. It's a good habit to refuel when the needle drops to around a quarter, ensuring safety and convenience. Also, different car models might have varying fuel gauge sensitivities—some older cars may show inaccurate readings, but the general rule remains F for full and E for empty.
I've been driving my old car to commute for several years, so I'm very familiar with the fuel gauge. That 'F' definitely stands for full, and 'E' signals empty. Every time the E light comes on, I know I need to find a gas station immediately. Without refueling, the engine might stall, affecting the trip. I've noticed that fuel consumption is slower when driving in the city, but it's faster on highways, so checking the fuel gauge frequently is crucial. It's best to plan refueling when the tank is half full to avoid urgency. My experience is that when the needle gets close to the E position, mistakes are more likely to happen, so don't risk waiting.
